* [3.8] bpo-39546: argparse: Honor allow_abbrev=False for specified ↵Miss Islington (bot)2020-02-181-28/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | prefix_chars (GH-18337) (GH-18543) When `allow_abbrev` was first added, disabling the abbreviation of long options broke the grouping of short flags ([bpo-26967](https://bugs.python.org/issue26967)). As a fix, b1e4d1b603 (contained in v3.8) ignores `allow_abbrev=False` for a given argument string if the string does _not_ start with "--" (i.e. it doesn't look like a long option). This fix, however, doesn't take into account that long options can start with alternative characters specified via `prefix_chars`, introducing a regression: `allow_abbrev=False` has no effect on long options that start with an alternative prefix character. The most minimal fix would be to replace the "starts with --" check with a "starts with two prefix_chars characters". But `_get_option_tuples` already distinguishes between long and short options, so let's instead piggyback off of that check by moving the `allow_abbrev` condition into `_get_option_tuples`. https://bugs.python.org/issue39546 (cherry picked from commit 8edfc47baec7ff4cb1b9db83dd35c8ffc1d498a4) Co-authored-by: Kyle Meyer <kyle@kyleam.com> https://bugs.python.org/issue39546 Automerge-Triggered-By: @encukou

* bpo-26967: fix flag grouping with allow_abbrev=False (GH-14316) (GH-14759)Miss Islington (bot)2019-07-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The `allow_abbrev` option for ArgumentParser is documented and intended to disable support for unique prefixes of --options, which may sometimes be ambiguous due to deferred parsing. However, the initial implementation also broke parsing of grouped short flags, such as `-ab` meaning `-a -b` (or `-a=b`). Checking the argument for a leading `--` before rejecting it fixes this. This was prompted by pytest-dev/pytestGH-5469, so a backport to at least 3.8 would be great :smile: And this is my first PR to CPython, so please let me know if I've missed anything! https://bugs.python.org/issue26967 (cherry picked from commit dffca9e925ee5c3072663cbe8d4d4768406d5307) Co-authored-by: Zac Hatfield-Dodds <Zac-HD@users.noreply.github.com>
* bpo-37150: Throw ValueError if FileType class object was passed in ↵Miss Islington (bot)2019-06-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add_argument (GH-13805) There is a possibility that someone (like me) accidentally will omit parentheses with `FileType` arguments after `FileType`, and parser will contain wrong file until someone will try to use it. Example: ```python parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument('-x', type=argparse.FileType) ``` https://bugs.python.org/issue37150 (cherry picked from commit 03d5831a2d62c68654ec223168e574cd546efbf6) Co-authored-by: zygocephalus <grrrr@protonmail.com>

* bpo-33109: argparse subparsers are once again not required by default (GH-6919)Ned Deily2018-05-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | bpo-26510 in 3.7.0a2 changed the behavior of argparse to make subparsers required by default, returning to the behavior of 2.7 and 3.2. The behavior was changed in 3.3 to be no longer required. While it might make more sense to have the default to required, compatibility with 3.3 through 3.6 is probably less disruptive than trying to reintroduce compatibility with 2.7 at this point. This change restores the 3.6 behavior.
